“When I watched the episode, I was like, ‘You know what? This is actually borderline dangerous,” Robyn revealed on Page Six’s podcast, Virtual Reali-Tea. She added, “Because I felt like she was actually implying something that didn’t happen [and] we shouldn’t put [that] out there.”
Karen accused Juan of being inappropriate with her at RHOP’s Season 4 reunion, ultimately making her “uncomfortable.”
“Juan proceeds to take me in his arms [and] squeeze me so tight my breasts went back to my vertebrae,” Karen told the ladies on a cast trip to Mexico. Her statements came in the middle of dropping the bomb that Juan had been cheating on Robyn with a blonde woman in Georgetown, Maryland.
“She sounded like she’s been sheltered all her life and has never had a friendly interaction with a man,” the mom of two stated. “I just brushed that off [at the time].”
Initially, the RHOP OG was unphased by Karen’s claims. However, after reflecting on her comments, Robyn believes her co-star was out of line.
Robyn said, “It’s not right that you can just go and throw out an accusation like that and not be careful with what you’re saying. You’re going to tell me you’re going to wait over years to bring it up as it was such a big deal?”
She continued, “No, if it was such a big deal, tell me then and I’ll tell him, ‘Listen, the woman is fragile. She cannot handle your firm hugs.'”
Robyn’s statements are interesting, given that her partner in crime, Gizelle Bryant, is known for sitting on “tea” for elongated periods. Then she serves it up when it’s convenient. Her most recent stunt with Chris Bassett is a prime example. In my opinion, Robyn has always been the voice of reason between the two. So, her stance is not surprising.

The stars have realigned and all is right with the world because Real Housewives of New Jersey is back on our TVs. Season 13 is gearing up to be explosive as ever, obviously due, in part, to Teresa Giudice’s epic wedding to Luis Ruelas. The Jersey crew may be old school, but the drama is as fresh as ever, even when it comes to Tre vs. the Gorgas.
RHONJ kicked off its Season 13 with a supersized episode titled “New Friends, Same Jersey” that couldn’t have been more appropriately named. We see age-old tension bubble back up between Tre, Melissa Gorga, and Joe Gorga (as always). However, we meet plenty of new faces to the RHONJ universe that seem like they’ll fit right in without a hitch. Here are the five main takeaways from the Season 13 premiere of RHONJ.
Teresa Is Actually… Growing Up?
RHONJ is the Teresa Giudice show. We all are well aware by Season 13. Tre’s entering a new and exciting stage of life this season that’s a welcome refresh from years of legal woes. She and Luis are in love love love, and those positive vibes seem to actually be rubbing off on her in a beneficial way. Tre has been seeing a therapist and working on being less reactive which is a major win. It’s putting it lightly to classify Teresa as stubborn, so we love some growth. Even if Luis’ shady antics are what it takes to guide her there.
Tre shows some major growth during this premiere when it came to her relationship with Margaret Josephs. Tre will recognize as soon as anyone how good of a friend the Marge can be, especially in tough times. She has a get-together at her house (chaperoned by Luis and Joe Benigno) to actually make amends with Margaret. Tre explains that she’s really sorry for her nasty behavior toward Margaret, which is something that rarely comes out of her mouth. Marge is even skeptical of whether or not Teresa is genuine or just trying to appease Luis, and Teresa gives the most on-brand response ever. “I’m being raw as a cucumber right now,” she replies. What could that expression possibly mean? Who knows. That’s the beauty of it.
RHONJ Has Some Welcome Fresh Faces
RHONJ is one of those Real Housewives cities that actually seems to be at its best with a consistent cast. Since the likes of Jennifer Aydin and Jackie Goldschneider joined the show, there hasn’t been an obvious gap in the cast. However, Bravo is smart in knowing that viewers don’t like to get bored, especially after multiple seasons of watching the same women. It’s why Season 13 of RHONJ is all about abundance.
The premiere episode introduces three new women to the RHONJ scene. We meet Jennifer Fessler, who already feels like she’s going to be a background character as a friend of Margaret. Rachel Fuda is a fellow newbie introduced via MelGo, as their kids are friends. She does her best to get involved in the drama, but the biggest standout is that she doesn’t warm up to Jennifer Aydin, which is a red flag in my book.
Danielle Cabral is the star of the RHONJ newbies (obviously — she’s introduced via Tre). Danielle gets her tough attitude from her Staten Island roots and her fun sassy side from her time in Jersey. She has a 4-year-old daughter named Valentine who is giving major OG Milania Giudice vibes. She flips off the camera and hates waking up for school, if that’s any indication. Danielle is also goo-goo ga-ga for her husband and a freak about gelling her 7-year-old son’s hair, so it seems like she’ll be an eccentric addition to a cast of big characters.
Dolores Catania is an RHONJ staple, but she’s entering Season 13 with a different vibe. She’s learning to set boundaries with her ex Frank Catania, especially as things get more serious with her man Paul Connell. Dolo is also head over heels for Paul, which is atypical for her. The only major issue in her relationship (ironically) seems to be his relationship with Frank Sr. It’s obvious this trio will have some growing pains throughout the season, and the seeds were set in the debut episode.
Dolores also spends the majority of the RHONJ episode having beef with Jennifer. Jennifer Aydin is my spirit animal. Sure, she’s messy, but I can’t quit her. Dolo and Jennifer’s beef boils down to the last RHONJ reunion. Mrs. Aydin calls Dolo a disloyal friend and Paterson Dolores retaliates by calling her friend the C-word. Messy. The two avoid one another during the majority of the group get-togethers during episode one.
But when Dolores hears Jennifer talking about her at a party in her own home, she goes off, Paterson style. The two end up swearing one another out of the party and agree to disagree. The unfinished business is paramount, as Jennifer calls Dolo the C-word in return on her way out. Have I mentioned how grateful I am to have RHONJ back?
The Gorgas Are Back To Scheming Away
It’s honestly laughable how hard Mr. and Mrs. Gorga try to have a moment during the debut episode. Tarzan spends all of his screen time ruminating on the fact that his wife isn’t going to be one of Tre’s bridesmaids. Yes, after years of problems, this is the hill that Joey G. is going to die on with his sis. MelGo also doubles down on painting herself as good while Teresa is nothing but an evil sister-in-law. *I think I’ve seen this film before, and I didn’t like the ending*
Honestly, the beginning of the latest Gorga fight just isn’t that interesting. Sure, I’ll be invested once the Gorgas skip out on Tre’s big day. But it’s obvious they’re already prepared to stretch this moment into another year on the show.
It’s also interesting to watch Tre’s response to her tension with the Gorgas. I’m not saying Tre is right by any means, but she’s not this villain the Gorgas want her to be. Instead of holding onto the toxic relationship with her brother, Tre is deciding to choose happiness and embrace her new hubby’s family in full force.
Teresa has always been vocal about how she loves family even though she comes from a small tribe. She feels at home with Luis‘ family who accepts her with open arms. Tre and Luis’ relationship might be full of red flags, but it does seem like a healing moment for Tre that is much more beneficial than her trying to cuddle up to MelGo.
Love Them Or Hate Them, The HouseHusbands Are Back
One of the stand-out group scenes from the episode is the Real HouseHusbands of New Jersey gathering at Marge’s house to shoot a sexy calendar. Dolo is making her softball charity event bigger and better this year by selling the calendars. All of the men are invited, including the hubbies of the newbies. Joe Gorga, as anticipated, has way too much fun oiling himself up for his modeling debut. Evan Goldschneider also shows off his devilish good looks, despite his wife’s demotion.Bill Aydin goes all sexy doctor (too soon?), while Joey B. shows off his dad bod on a Harley.
The RHONJ men can be too much at times. For example, Tarzan sometimes gets way too involved in women’s business, especially when it comes to Jennifer. The men of the show obviously want to be reality TV stars in their own right, so at least they deliver over-the-top scenes sprinkled with drama to stretch their 15 seconds of fame.

“It is an adjustment,” Teresatold Us Weekly of her life after marriage. “Louie’s older son has autism, so that’s an adjustment for our family, and [we’re] doing a lot of charity work for the autism foundation. The girls are so amazing with him. … We love and adore him.”
Teresa credits her daughters for success adjusting to the blended family. She said, “As a mom, you never know if you’re doing a great job. But then looking at my girls to see how they interact with Nicholas, I’m like, ‘Oh, my God, thank you, God. I’m doing a great job,'” Teresa added.
Luis and Teresa shared their passionate relationship on camera. The father of two was even introduced to the RHONJ cast on camera. When the two got engaged in Greece November 2021, the Standing Strong author shared the happy news with her vast social media following.
“My Fiancé you are such a beautiful person inside and out,” Teresa wrote via Instagram. “I love everything about you, especially your heart and the way you treat me and my daughters. You are amazing in so many ways one thing I admire about you is what a great Dad you are.” She continued, “I am so lucky to have found you thank you for coming into my life. I know my parents sent you to me from that day I prayed to them on Bay Blvd. I adore you endlessly. You are the love of my life, my soulmate and my everything. I Love you,” she added.
Their wedding was filmed for a RHONJ special that will air after the conclusion of Season 13.
“I can’t wait for the wedding special because I can’t wait to relive it,” Teresa said of viewing the production. “I was so happy, and I can’t wait to see it because I know there’s some things that I missed.”
So, will Luis and Teresa’s blended family love bubble be featured on the new season? Hopefully, because Teresa has been raving about her post-marital bliss. “It’s been pretty amazing,” she gushed. “It really has. Because listen, I’ve heard other stories with other families, but it’s been great.”
Maybe the Giudice daughters will be featured in other ways this season. Audriana excels at competitive dancing while Gabriella and Milania are on soccer teams. Gia is following her dream of becoming a lawyer. She announced a dream job with an immigration law firm. She will start her new position after finishing her degree at Rutgers University.
“Their whole experience influenced me, honestly, for the better,” Gia said of Joe’s deportation to his native Italy after serving a prison sentence for fraud. “I just want to help families and be able to be there for families and help children especially.”

Late last week, Katie made a post to Instagram and revealed to her fans and followers she landed a minimum-wage job after her time in rehab. From the bottom of my heart, you go girl!
Page Six shared the announcement, which included a selfie of Katie at her new job. Along with the pic, Katie wrote, “Jesus Christ, I started working, like a real job. I just got off of an 8 hour shift working minimum wage. I feel like a real person instead of a reality tv person; I made $14 an hour, … Keepin it real.”
Katie’s work-life selfie was taken in the vitamin aisle of a store. She’s dressed super casual, in a hat, quarter-zip, and beaded jewelry.
In the comments of her post, Katie revealed her new gig is at the Bethesda Co-op. It’s an organic market in Cabin John, Maryland. She said, “we are kinda granola and hippie but kinda awesome. Way better than Whole Foods!” She even invited a fan to stop by for a visit in the comments and wrote, “Come say hi.”
Katie’s followers and fans gave her nothing but love in the comments. We love an authentic Housewife, former or current, after all. Personally, I would much rather watch Katie work an 8-hour shift at a cash register than one more group event at a walk-in Botox clinic.
One fan commented, “I’m impressed. Not only does this require humility, which is probably one of the most important and best qualities a human can have. What you’re doing is also important.” A second person added, “Gotta pay the bills. Nothing wrong with that.”
Yet another follower gassed Katie up saying, “We are rooting for you Katie! This is awesome. This is what healing looks like! And you make it look GREAT! We are SO proud of you!”
Katie began her 30-day rehab program in October of 2022. She was admitted to “kick alcohol and Adderall in a medical setting.” At the time, Katie shared with her followers that she had been taking Adderall since the age of 12 to treat her diagnosed attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
“There is no shame in admitting you have been prescribed things and those things are now hurting you physically,” Katie wrote in a since-deleted social-media post, per Page Six.
Mazel to Katie for being relatable, unpredictable, and genuine all at the same time. Keep doing you, boo!
